IBM ends all facial recognition business as CEO calls out bias and inequality：
IBM结束了所有面部识别业务，因为首席执行官指出偏见和不平等
IBM：顔認証システム開発
IBMは顔認証システム開発について、CEOが、「偏見と不平等を助長すると表明、今後全ての顔認識ビジネスの中止」を表明しました。
IBM CEO Arvind Krishna：
本日、顔認識サービスを販売しないことを発表。
また、「警察による暴力行使を防止する新法案への支持」も表明しました。
In a letter reported by CNBC,
written in support of the Justice in Policing Act introduced today, Krishna explains the company’s exit from the controversial business of facial identification as a service:
IBM firmly opposes and will not condone uses of any technology,
including facial recognition technology offered by other vendors, for
- mass surveillance,
- racial profiling,
- violations of basic human rights
and freedoms, or any purpose which is not consistent with our values and Principles of Trust and Transparency.
We believe now
is the time to begin a national dialogue on whether and how facial recognition technology should be employed by domestic law enforcement agencies.
This careful approach to developing and deploying the technology is not a new one:
IBM last year emphasized it with a new database of face data that was more diverse than anything available at the time.
After all, like any program, these systems are only as good as the information you feed into them.
